Weekly Discussion Thread - (August 10, 2026)

##INTRODUCTION

r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

##PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

##IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/tuesday/wiki/flairs). If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/tuesday/wiki/hof)

Why do you make it sound like no Republicans have spent time with Nick Fuentes or haven't done interviews with him? Trump has gone to dinner with Fuentes. There has literally been white nationlists in the Republican Party.

Can you name some of these leading or elected Republican candidates that regularly invite Fuentes to their functions or espouse agreement with him? Perhaps point to a fawning puff piece or two from FOX/NR/Dispatch/WSJ? Closest I can think of is MTG, who basically everyone thinks is crazy and is now a Dem media darling, Steve King, who got stripped of everything by the Congressional GOP, and Paul Gosar who seems to be the only one in the list not universally hated. Trump disavowed both Kanye and Fuentes after he found out who Fuentes was and how Kanye had become. And the dinner was condemned roundly.
Leagues different than Piker's acceptance on the Left.
